Jessica Simpson says she's not currently attached to a guy, but revealed she's on the hunt!

"I'm single, but I'm out mingling around," Jessica told Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which taped earlier in the week.

"I mingle around very privately," she explained. "I have ways in and out of my house and certain places that I go that are private just so I can have a normal life. I'm still out there and bring normal."

The 29-year-old admitted it's hard to trust men following her series of relationship woes, but said she's still open to dating a fellow celebrity.

"It doesn't really matter to me. They definitely have to understand my life and what I put up with and what I deal with," the blonde beauty continued. "Being scrutinized publicly they can definitely make or break a relationship and you have to have that strong foundation so I have to have somebody that understands that kind of lifestyle."

One surprising grooming habit that future suitors might have to get used to is Jessica only brushing her teeth three times a week.

"My teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel to slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday. But, I don't brush them everyday. I'll use a shirt or something. I know it's gross but I always have fresh breath. It's really weird but I have great breath," she told Ellen, who gave Jessica a basket of dental floss. "They are too slippery. My lips just slide all over the place… I can't catch up with my mouth. I need a little coating."
